Any time I've got to go points south from Connecticut (VIR, SPR, etc) this is the way I go. Sure, it's less mileage to go through NYC - or even through Jersey via 287/78 - but all it takes is one piece of congestion and your advantage is quashed times two.

My preferred route to VIR - besides direct MAD, V16 RIC, V20 SBV, direct DAN - is 84W to I-91S, I64W at Staunton to Rt 29S to Danville.
